Fatemanman Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I recently upgrade my verizon dsl speed to 2.mbs.They flipped the switch on early this week. I was getting an awesome 600down 80ish up, which was a happy upgrade from my 170dn 40up, untill the new modem came. I hooked it up with the help of verizon and they had me switch their settings to a routed bridge connection. This got my new modem to work and this was fine, until i realized that my u torrent speeds have been cut across the board now down to 400dn if that. My dismay of course since i''ve been d/l a t.v. series and now the much anticipated conclusion will just be an anticipation.Please help. Thank You.Running vista 64amd dual core 2.90mhz8.00gb ram 1024mhz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 The modem is bridged? Could be something wrong with the modem or what they did.. http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Are you confusing bits for bytes?A 2 megabit/sec download connection really is only capable of around 200-240 KiloBYTES/second download speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatemanman Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I could be confusing bits for bytes(that has always confused me). I 'm basing this on my u torrent speeds because I d/l all the time; and its a normally a good judge of my speed(because I try to get the most of my connection; a balance between browser speed and d/l).All I know is yesterday my speeds were 200k/b more on Utorrent, consistently then now. I'm also sorry I didn't post a fancy bandwidth picture. I did speed tests then and now, and get the same 5300ish dn 80ish up. My Mozilla is as always blazing fast. Thank You for any help everybody.

Switeck Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 "get the same 5300ish dn 80ish up"5300 MUST be kilobits/sec...no ra-ADSL 2+ modem can go 5300 KiloBYTES/second.But that means 80 kilobits/sec upload!That should be closer to 10 times that amount!Did you pause or stop uTorrent's torrents before doing that speed test?

Fatemanman Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 sorry 500dn and 80ish up sorry. stopped utorrent both times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 500 kilobits/second down and 80 kilobits/second up?!Somehow that doesn't sound right either...too slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatemanman Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 10:00pm new editI might have been premature in these posts. I was reading the troubleshooting guide and, tried d/ling office org. and the torrent speeds flew up.http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/5409/speed2.jpg So the problem may lie in the swarm??8:00pm old editAlright sorry about the mixing up the numbers peeps. This pic is presently.http://img299.imageshack.us/i/speedx.jpg/I'm not really sure about the terms still. I know, I should be one bandwidth tier higher.Originally I was getting max 170k/b dn and 40k/b up; close to the pics bndwth.Then Verizon turned on the switch, and I was getting 600k/b dn 80+k/b ish up.Then It happened, I thought I try out the new modem, initially didn't work, Verizon helped(switch a bunch of settings around) and got my new modem to work. But at the cost of of my sweet Utorrent speeds.This is presentlyhttp://www.speedtest.net/result/551156541.pngMy speed tests through out the Tier switch and new modem install have remained appx. the same. I hoping I'm a little clearer. Thanks everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Even the office torrent didn't look like it SUSTAINED high speeds, so that's not good!Line noise still? Bad wiring? A phone that's missing a proper isolator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatemanman Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 To be fair that pic was taken (at around 95% and 100% and after) their was a fairly sustained speed. But yes this connection is horrible, the house was built in the 70's. The phones are jacked though and the dsl line chord from the outlet is the rounded wire. If only I could get the 500ish dn speed back arghhhhhh. All I can remember(going on 2weeks) is the Verizon guy switching my settings to routed bridge.All this: Paste from my Verizon connection home pagesInternet Status: Connected DSL Link: Connected Speed(Down/Up) 6136 Kbps / 863 Kbps Connection Type: RoutedBridge Lease Type: DynamicIP Address Allocation: DHCPProtocol: bridgeBridge Mode: routed bridgeAny help appreciated. Thanks everybody...I mean Switeck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 "6136 Kbps / 863 Kbps"Those are in kilobits/sec...which means you'll be lucky to upload 100 KiloBYTES/second in uTorrent.And on torrents with few seeds but lots of peers, your download is unlikely to be multiple times your upload speed.

Fatemanman Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 So when I was getting a consistent number like 600+ k/bdn 80+ k/bup on Utorrent for the 3 days or so, before the new modem install. A welcome upgrade from 2 yrs of 170k/b dn and 40k/b up(ala the stone age), I was getting the max of my crap bandwidth connection?Probably attributed to many things top somethings like the (Dsl degrade loss of signal?) in the hard lines, old house, my current settings?

Switeck Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Try the 800 kbit/sec upload settings from 2nd link in my signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatemanman Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Adjusted it this morning, been running it all day no change. Now I'm wondering if the port forwarding is working. I noticed that there has definitely been more redyellowgreen incoming connection icon switching ; since the first change. If it helps I have a Linksys wrt54gs router, and forwarded the same port.number in the start & end box. This didn't seem to bring a successful Utorr. port checker page. So I also tried the Verizon settings and no success. With no change in speed. Arghhh. I've also just noticed that my IE8 Loads, but just displays a cannot display page. So I Installed Vista sp2(d/led at 400/500k/b dn consistently) . No change. Noticed that Verizon didn't have UPnP enabled: now it does. ARghhh Thanks SwiteckToday reinstalled Utorrent no change, got Bittorrent getting maybe a little more speed. Bittorrent incoming connection icon is saying no incoming connections port checker also fails. Arghhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
